I don't believe that Peace for a country's population can be achieved through war. I'm speaking of Iraq and other Middle Eastern Countries(not the general War on Terrorism-Hammas, Al Quaeda, etal).
There is no way to "win" through violence. I look back at the Korean War and the Second World War. Peace was won through helping Japan, Korea, and Germany become countries where the common people had a say in chosing their government, America build and/or rebuilt their economies and called the countries our friends going forward.
Neither candidate for president discussed the future of Iraq in any manner that was meaningful to me. This War is Bush's catastrophe. We as citizens have the duty to vote him out of office on November 2 for this incredible blunder.
I am reminded of how Lyndon Johnson declined to run for reelection because of his failure to end the VietNam War, so then, the New President Nixon was able to "negotiate" the end.
I think we have learned from Bush's and the New-Con's blunder that we cannot pursue the policy of preemptive war in the Middle East to any satisfactory peaceful conclusion. The religious crazies outnumber us; they always will because of their outlandish birth rates and fear of change in their social and cultural fabric.
I'm going to vote for Kerry. I have to. |
